Volen interjected, "There's an organization called the Shadowspeakers, and it goes around kidnapping pokemon so that they can do dark experiments on them. Everyone knows it, but no one likes to acknowledge it."

Ectra flared back, with tears in her eyes, "Volen, don't you dare speak that way! He could be somewhere else!"

Volen replied, "He's been missing for about thirty sun cycles! Even if he wasn't captured, there's no way he could possibly be alive."

With that, Ectra broke down in tears, pressed her arms to her face, and ran away.
